"Most natural science classes at LSSU offer students as much hands-on experience (lab hours) as lecture hours, which ensures that the university experience prepares us for the real world careers, whether you work at a desk or out in the field, or both. There are endless advantages and opportunities available to LSSU students due to its location on an international border.

I found my career path on campus when my advisor posted a job for the Bi-national Public Advisory Council (BPAC), a group dedicated to and overseeing the clean-up the St. Mary's River. I was able to gain experience and network on both sides of the border, ultimately finding full-time employment before I graduated with my biology degree."

Brianne Lunn Fisheries and Wildlife Management Bellaire, MI

I love the outdoors and was amazed to find out that I could actually make a career out of it. There aren’t many schools that offer a fish and wildlife bachelor’s degree. Lake Superior State not only offers it, but has an excellent reputation in the field. And I wanted to go to Lake State rather than a large school because it is extremely personal. You know your professors on a first name basis. They are willing to help with any questions you have. [ more ]
